UTICA, N.Y. — Indium Corporation recently celebrated the first eight graduates of its apprenticeship program with an Oct. 18 event at the company’s facility at Lincoln Avenue in Utica.

Representatives from external program partners, including MACNY - The Manufacturers Association of Central New York and Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC), were also on hand.

Launched in 2021 in partnership with MACNY, MVCC, the National Institute for Innovation and Technology (NIIT), and SUNY Polytechnic Institute, the apprenticeship program offers select employees an opportunity for on-the-job training while also working toward earning professional certificates and college credits.

“On behalf of more than 1,400 team members worldwide, we are tremendously proud of the accomplishments of our pioneer apprentices,” Indium President/COO Ross Berntson said in a release. “The New York State Apprenticeship Program aligns with Indium Corporation’s dedication to developing our workforce, enabling them to excel in their current roles and also to meet the evolving demands of the advanced manufacturing sector, particularly within the semiconductor industry.”

Nine additional team members are set to graduate this coming winter.

Indium is a materials refiner, smelter, manufacturer, and supplier to the electronics, semiconductor, thin-film, and thermal-management markets. Founded in 1934 and headquartered in Clinton, the company has technical-support facilities and factories in China, Germany, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.
